Capturing Sealers.

SAN Francisco, July 1S.-By the
Alaska Commercial company's steam
ell Dora, which came in to-day from
Ounalaska, information is received OF
the seizure of two vessels for sealing
within the limits prescribed by the
United States government. The crafts
are the American schooner Challenge
from Seattle, and the British steam
schooner Annie Beck, hailing from
Victoria. Both seizures were made by
the United States revenue cutter Rich
ard Rush, and the vessels and crews
were sent on to Sitka. The Challenge
was taken July lst in Ekestone, ,Oneks-
ton island. When overhauled by Rush
no seals were to be seen but there
was blood on the deck and other evil
dences that the crew had been en-
gagged in sealing. The Rush took
charge of her in spite OF the
protest OF her captain, who urged
that every skin that he had
was obtained in the open waters of the
Pacific. The Rush took the prize TO
Ounalaska. Two days later the An
ME Beck was seized near st. Georges
which is not far from Ounalaska. AS
in the case of the Challenge there was
blood on the deck and the crew APP
peared as if they had been hard at it.
Her captain sent up protest and
threatened TO seek redress from the
British government. He was likewise
sent off to Sitkn. where he, as well as
the American Captain will be tried
When the Dara departed from Ouna-
laska there was fleet OF twenty seal
ers lowering off Sanack under the es-
piopage of the Rush. Others were re-
rorted at Unge and the officers OF
The Rush were in need of assistance

Is disbursing over $4,000 per day for
losses. 1t has paid out nearly $l3,-
900, 1000 and has issued upwards OF
100000 policies. 1t is hardly nec-
essary, in the face of the record of
the Travellers, to advise people to
take ont accident policies. On ac-
count Of the slight expense attached

siona, man or merchant should neg
lect this matter. For small sum
